QUESTION:

Calculate the moment of the 250-N force on the handle of the monkey wrench about the center of the bolt.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

It is easier if we separate force F on two forces that depend on x and y axis:

\(\begin{array}{l}
F_{x}=250 \cdot \sin 15^{\circ}=64.7 \mathrm{~N} \\
F_{y}=250 \cdot \cos 15^{\circ}=241.48 \mathrm{~N}
\end{array}\)
